About this farm stay rental
This refurbished family farmhouse enjoys a unique setting on the Caledonian canal, midway between Loch Ness and the city of Inverness. A perfect retreat for family and friends, this secluded location has fully fenced gardens with direct access to the canal and spectacular views of the open countryside and hills beyond. Both the City itself and boat trips down the Loch are within walking distance of the house. Enjoy an evening under the stars in the wood-fired hot tub, cosily ensconced in the living room or cook up a family feast in the large kitchen-diner.
Setting
The extensive secure gardens and orchard offer the perfect place to relax. Facing the canal, the house has a large raised deck with soft seating and dining area where you can chill and watch the boats go by. Or have a sing-song and warm yourselves round the fire pit where you will find rustic log seating and a Japanese plate BBQ. Indulge yourselves in the large wood-fired hot tub under its own fairy pagoda just waiting for you to immerse yourself and relax.
Your accommodation
A cosy sitting room with a log burner provides the perfect place to relax after a hard day on the hill, sampling whisky, playing golf or exploring the many local places of interest. Freeview Sat, Smart TV, with all the apps and DVD player and plenty of DVDs for all the family are provided. There is also a stereo docking system and a good selection of board games, cards and proper old-fashioned books!
A spacious open-plan kitchen /diner with views to the canal and the hills is fully equipped and offers the perfect place to cook up a storm and entertain family and friends. Amenities include: juicer, microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher, Espresso Coffee machine and a washing machine and tumble dryer in the utility areas.
The table sits up to 8 and there is also a breakfast bar and an electric wood burning effect stove
The house has 4 spacious bedrooms. On the ground floor, a king-size bedroom looks out over the hills. Upstairs two king bedrooms and a twin have fabulous views over the canal and hills.
All bedrooms have ample storage and we use the best hypoallergenic bedding and Egyptian cotton linen from Tielle Loves Luxury as recommended in Country Life and House and Garden.
There are 3 bathrooms; a shower room on the ground floor and a spacious bathroom and separate shower room upstairs.
All bathrooms are supplied with luxury local toiletries from the Highland Soap Company.
Separate towels are supplied for those who fancy a dip in the Loch or hot tub.
Children and up to two pets welcome. Stair gates and high chairs and cots are available on request.

Location, location. If you don't mind winding down a farm road for almost a mile through woodland and field, opening and closing livestock gates along the way this is the place for you!
The house is warm and cozy and superbly outfitted. The beds are very comfortable. The lawn and gardens are bountiful, with canal paths and woodland walks right outside your door.
We made good use of the wood fired hot tub, the outdoor fire and even the barrel grill.
Our contact with the property manager was easy and prompt and helpful, and the property "manual" is complete and well done.
If you have kids do not miss Farm Ness, and Abriachan Forest playground and hike, and a walk down the canal path to catch a short boat tour on Loch Ness to see Urquart Castle.
Just lovely, highly recommend!

Wow! Staying here was one of the highlights of our visit to Scotland! My whole family loved the quiet, the animals, the comfortable space in the house. It was absolutely perfect! All 5 of us agreed it’s one of our favorite places we have ever stayed. Highly recommend!

Everyone should experience a stay at Dunaincroy. It is in an idyllic and beautiful location, with the canal as a bonus.
The house is second to none - beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean.
There are so many tourist attractions within a small radius, making Dunaincroy the perfect place for an unforgettable holiday.
